Ryan's Friday Art: Afternoon Class: Tonalist Oil Painting
Learn how to observe and record using tonal masses and colour. The method was advocated by Max Meldrum from the late 1910s and has been a method many well loved artists, like Clarice Beckett, have used. The tonalist method presents a strong framework for students in documenting what they see, and with time, what they feel. Meldrum believed that a person did not require any special ’talent’, that anyone could be taught to paint provided they applied themselves diligently.
